1832 Refused To Let Her Go
Spotting this, Yaoyao spoke with a touch of annoyance, “Why are you sitting so far away from me?”
Qi Heng couldn't help bursting into laughter upon seeing Yuan You's extreme caution.
Yuan You's cheeks flushed red at the sound of his laughter. She spun around to shoot him a glare. “What are you laughing about?”
“I’m not laughing at you,” Qi Heng replied earnestly, halting his laughter at once.
A smile played on Lu Liangwei's lips as she said, “Quit teasing Youyou, Qi Heng. A man must behave like a gentleman, or no woman will want to marry him.”
Qi Heng responded gravely right away, “I’ll keep your advice in mind, Your Highness.”
“Enough with the acting,” Lu Liangwei chuckled, shaking her head.
“Aunt Hexin, hold me.” Chu Xin, who had been playing on Chu Qi’s lap, suddenly grew bored of the wooden horse her father crafted and reached out for Hexin to hug her.
Hexin extended her arms to pick up Chu Xin upon hearing the plea.
Yet before she could even touch the child, Long Yin seized her hand. He turned to Chu Xin and said, “Xin’er, come here. Let me hold you.”
Chu Xin pursed her lips and whined cutely, “I don’t want you. I want Aunt Hexin to carry me.” As if recalling something, she cocked her small head curiously and asked, “What game have you two been playing lately, Uncle Long Yin? I wanted to join you, but Grandmother said no.”
The child's innocent remark seemed harmless, yet it made Hexin's face burn with embarrassment. She gripped her handkerchief tightly, at a loss for words.
Long Yin froze momentarily but recovered swiftly. He reached out to pat Chu Xin’s little head gently and cooed, “Your Aunt Hexin is new to this place and unfamiliar with it. I’ve been showing her around. Once she knows the Palace well, I’ll take you to play too.”
Understanding lit up Chu Xin’s eyes at the explanation. “Oh, that makes sense.” She beckoned to Hexin as she added, “Aunt Hexin, carry me please. I know the Palace inside out—I can show you around for fun too.”
Hexin laughed heartily, her shyness fading away. “Sure.”
This time around, Long Yin refrained from interrupting as she lifted Chu Xin.
He feared the mischievous girl might blurt out another 'innocent' comment that would fluster Hexin again.
But the moment Hexin scooped Chu Xin into her arms, Long Yin thoughtfully positioned his hand behind her for support.
Watching their intimacy warmed Lu Liangwei's heart.
It thrilled her to see Yin’er doting on Hexin so tenderly. Their bond would surely grow strong, promising endless happiness.
Long Yin saw Hexin starting to tire from holding Chu Xin but held back from commenting, not wanting to seem too presumptuous and make her uneasy.
Hexin felt a quiet wave of relief.
Normally, carrying Chu Xin posed no challenge, but after Long Yin kept her from leaving the night before, she had gone without sleep. Now, with the standing and holding, her legs wobbled beneath her.
Lunchtime arrived just as Long Yang came back.
Lu Liangwei promptly directed the servants to bring the dishes and begin the meal.
Yuan You was once again amazed when Long Yang appeared.
She whispered to Hexin, “I already figured Crown Prince Long was an extraordinarily handsome man, but His Majesty looks even more striking.” Amazement gleamed in her eyes. Heavens, she had met two mythical figures today—no regrets left in life.
Seeing Long Yang beside Lu Liangwei struck her fragile heart hard.
Such a breathtaking couple, overflowing with deep affection.
She would gladly serve as a palace maid forever just to gaze upon them daily.
Worried Yuan You might blurt something improper, Hexin hurriedly shoved a snack into her mouth. “Eat more, talk less.”
